Seriously, though, having a few (optional) levels covering from chemistry up to nand gates would really add depth to the game.

Not gonna lie, I wanted to do something like this, but then remembered how bad at math and physics I was.

On a random note, I find it disappointed the tiny of amount of physics material on MOOC sites and such.

this would be good material for a book, where in the end, the reader gets to output "hello world".

Ok I’ve added it to my list of possible book ideas. But it’s already a list that’s grown far beyond a lifetime’s output.

(“From Higgs Boson to Hello World” as working title.)

In the style of the famous Carl Sagan's apple pie recipe. "First you create an universe ..

Author here - I would love to do a few layers below the nand gate.

"A few layers" - pun intended?

A CMOS game, drawing the various layers that make up transistors, would be interesting to see.

Real men invent the laws of physics from scratch.
